Seymour to Wodonga rail project underway
Thursday, 21 May 2009
Concrete re-sleepering work has begun on the Seymour to Wodonga rail project.
Work will involve the laying of around 225,000 sleepers to complete an upgrade
of the Melbourne – Sydney corridor, which has seen the laying of over one
million new concrete sleepers.
The project has been fast tracked as part of the Australian Government’s Nation
Building – Economic Stimulus Plan.
The installation of the sleepers is due to be completed in August this year, at
an estimated total cost of $45 million.
This project is expected to complete the concrete re-sleepering of the
North-South corridor to significantly improve the efficiency and the reliability
of the interstate rail network.
